Username: AkshaKala

1) What inspired you to start writing?

Nothing inspires me, whenever I watch something I imagine that if I would be in this place, what I would change.

I was reading the Wattpad and discussing with one of my friends a story, she said if u have ideas write a one and I will vote for u, so rest assured u will get one vote. I laughed for a while and said at least I will get two votes for sure, including one vote of mine, that is how I wrote my first short story.

2)When you started writing and how old were you?

I have completed the journey of 5 months as writer and I am enjoying this lot. I'm 34 years old.

3) Would you like to share your experience when you first started writing?

English was not my first language and the knowledge was limited for words. When I start writing I make sure I use a simple and easy language and readers can understand it, what I want to convey (waise bhi I was expecting 2 votes only ) and

We both decided if I will get 100 views on this short story I will write another long one and then the other book started.

4) From where do you get your ideas from?

U guys will laugh but Mumbai locals are the best source of the ideas. People will say they are crowded but they are the life.

I always have option to go to my office from other sources but trains are the best and I enjoy the ride and definitely it takes less time to commute. You just listen to people and you will laugh, cry, happy and sad altogether. So yup lot of ideas from there.

5)What do you like to do when you aren't writing?

Well I am married with a 6 year old daughter so I am working in office or playing with my daughter.

In these recent times I actually started knowing I can bake also. So yup lot in plate except writing

6) What does your family think about your writing.?

If this lockdown won't happen, nobody would know I was writing.

They all knew I am an avid reader but no one knew that I wrote any story, I actually wrote in my commuting time.

So I told first time to my husband till that time I have reached first 3000 views, he didn't believed first and then he only told our family members and yup many of them read my work and were happy about it.
